From
Indian People: News and reports from Native Americans on the
scene of events of interest to our People. These reports are

Tribes asked to pray for Peaks - Gallup Independent
- Dec. 11, the Dine people have requested prayers from all tribal
nations as their legal appeal goes to court to keep
"reclaimed water" (treated sewage) from being used to
make snow on mountains that are sacred to them.
Canada's
Mohawk community has been in an ongoing struggle with Europeans
and their descendants practically from the moment the first
invaders stepped onto the Mohawk's land and decide they were more
"fit" to occupy it than the original inhabitants.
The story continues, and some Mohawk women now have determined
they don't want to play by British rules anymore. It has not
pleased the Crown. I recommend the Mohawk Nation News site (http://www.mohawknationnews.com)
for the Mohawk side of the story. Any Canadian News media
outlet will tell you what the settlers want you to know.
Please
go to our Issues Page for on-scene
reports on the following stories:
A NEW OKA?
Since April 2006, the Canadian
government has laid seige to a small development occupied by
Mohawks, primarily grandmothers intent on protecting further
appropriation of their traditional lands, which were never
officially ceded to Canada.
Georgia
Parks Policy Restricts Native Events
The
same state authorities who held that Native American Festivals
were "inappropriate" two years ago claim that the former
capital of the Cherokee Nation, now a possession of the state, is
too "sacred" and too "environmentally
sensitive" to allow government officials to greet the
descendants of those who once held those lands. At the risk
of sounding disrespectful, I have to ask - how transparently
absurd is that argument?
Update
- January 28, 2008 - The Parks department finally consented to
hold a welcoming ceremony on the New Echota site, but only if all
three federally recognized Cherokee tribes agreed to send
representatives to be welcomed. The Cherokee Nation of
Oklahoma quickly declined and the Eastern Band followed them
quickly. Correspondence about this follows on our
Issues page.
